3,000+ U.S. Sailors, Marines Reach Red Sea as Biden’s Middle East Build-Up Continues

Breitbart: Upwards of 3,000 U.S. sailors and Marines sailed into the Red Sea on Monday after transiting the Suez Canal in a pre-announced deployment, the U.S. Navy’s Fifth Fleet said in a statement.

The reinforcements were carried aboard the USS Bataan and USS Carter Hall warships, providing “greater flexibility and maritime capability” to the Fifth Fleet, the statement seen by AFP added.

Their arrival followed a U.S. announcement last month it would deploy a destroyer, F-35 and F-16 warplanes, along with the Amphibious Readiness Group/Marine Expeditionary Unit, to the Middle East to deter Iran from seizing ships in the Gulf.

The U.S. military says Iran has either seized or attempted to take control of nearly 20 internationally flagged ships in the region over the past two years and the Biden White House wants to see more forces in the region to stand ready to engage Iran if required, as Breitbart News reported. more

  1. Trump would sink everything they have at their docks and they knew it. Under Obama/Biden and their Iranian handler the Dems will surrender that fleet and give them more pallets of cash.

  2. Speaking of the navy, that goofy-looking “stealth” ship, the Zumwalt, is getting its useless deck guns replaced. Turns out they never had any ammo. So now they’re installing hypersonic missile launchers. The Navy is hoping to have some hypersonic missiles sometime next year. Or the year after. Maybe. Personally, I think whale oil beef hooked sooner.

  3. Once more do the Sailors and Marines go back into the breach to be used as cannon fodder. If we do have to go back into that shithole part of the world we need to fight to win and kick the muzzies ass back into the 7th Century where they belong. The Persian Gulf and the Straits of Hormuz was a miserable place in 1974 when I was there on board the USS Kitty Hawk and now it’s an even more dangerous and a bigger hellhole than it was back then because of joey’s chickenshit non-intervention policies. And I agree that one US Navy sub could end the whole damn mess in a heartbeat and the pisslamic bastards would never know what hit them.

  4. 3000 sailors with equipment don’t look like pallets of cash. Which were by the way their frozen assets. But of course Donny would support Iran because they are making weapons for his best bud Putin.
